    Rebecca Mikula-Wright and Philip Bateman | Climate action: The economics are on our side

    Climate action is already paying off, and can pay off even more, so how do we juggle our maelstrom of democracy in shifting geopolitics, powerful leaders stepping back from a climate agenda and the golden opportunity of our global net zero transition? Join Rebecca Mikula-Wright and I from the recent Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) summit, as we discuss what you need to do as a leader in your organisation to make this happen, what you may get caught out on, and how by aligning industry tipping points to maximise the speed of our climate transition, we can create cascading exponential impact. Many Australians don't realise that the country already generates 40% of its energy from renewables (and it spiked to 75% recently), and they don't know how quickly the nation has been moving and the policies implemented to support it. One things is clear - getting on with things on voluntarily is not fast enough, the investment industry is calling for regulation to enable them to close the gap between the science and the achievable impact. Dig into the stories of change and find out more via: Climate Action Pays Off Net Zero Asset Managers Alliance Climate Action 100+ And a big thank you to the IGCC team, David Russell and Tim Buckley, who I featured previously from the summit, as well as those groups supporting these initiatives; Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) Ceres, Inc. & Principles for Responsible Investment If you're a leader in this space, I look forward to connecting with you.  Please help spread the message by sharing this with your network.

    David Russell and Philip Bateman | Focusing on oil and gas companies to impact climate change is misguided

    Given what we know about climate change, how do you pay a pension 40 years from now? And why is focusing on oil and gas companies misguided? What do you think? And would you agree that Net Zero isn't about divestment, particularly when you own a slice of everything, everywhere? Join David Russell and I, as we get into the best fiduciary interests of pension funds, and how the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) works to create sector specific, short, medium and long term targets to achieve Net-Zero by 2050. We go through; * Genesis of the TPI * Universal Ownership and proxy voting * The need for policy on nature and biodiversity * Assessing Sovereign Climate Opportunity & Risk (ASCOR) This conversation was had during our time together at the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC), after David finished his session on Corporate Climate Engagement with Alison George at Australian Ethical Investment, Alison Ewings at QIC and Sasha Courville at Aluminium Stewardship Initiative. TPI is supported by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment. In the past week David also been speaking at the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) Melbourne Conference, hosted by the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI). Thank you particularly to Rebecca, Duncan and Fergus for the opportunity to bring you this from the IGCC Summit, and finally; If you're not sure how you're going to strategically lead your organisation internally and externally through this turbulent time, or communicate your vision effectively, reach out and let's discuss it in confidence.

    Tim Buckley and Philip Bateman | Where should we be spending our tax money for the betterment of the nation?

    Where should we be spending our tax money for the betterment of the nation? How do we subsidise every unit of fossil fuel production and burning across the world, and what do we do about this 'grey discount' aka 'green premium'? What's China up to and what does Australia do when competing with them directly is a mugs game? Join Tim Buckley of the Climate Energy Finance think tank and I, as we we answer these questions together after his panel session 'The Biggest Investment Mega Trend in History' at the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) Summit, which he shared with Alexis Cheang, Persephone Fraser and Alan Hsu. We also go into the perfect example of exporting embodied decarbonisation thanks to Marghanita Johnson and the Australian Aluminium Council, plus disagreeing with the productivity commission, and reference a number of hard working folk; Professor Rod Sims, Minister Bowen, Minister Ed Husic MP, Treasure Jim Chalmers, Senator Penny Wong, Guy Debelle, Trinasolar, SunDrive, UNSW, Rio Tinto, Hancock Prospecting, BHP and Fortescue.

    Sandrine Dixson-Declève and Philip Bateman | What does a truly functioning society look like?

    The current economy is not working. You know this. So what does transitioning to a truly functioning society look like? And for those who say 'well that's too costly' - Sandrine Dixson-Declève calls bullshit. Together we discuss causes for hope, how societies are responding to the pain of a post 1.5 degree warming world, and what is needed from our Government and Citizen leaders. If that's you, this short discussion includes the two questions to ask yourself in the mirror, that will let you know if you're on the right path! We cover a lot of ground in this short discussion; - European renewable price parity - Pushback from incumbent fossil producers - 98% of the European economy is driven by small and medium enterprises whilst regulators and legislators predominantly focus on the 2% - Marco Lambertini and the Nature Positive Initiative - CEO pay, inflation and earnings - Dr. Bronner's 5 to 1 salary cap (I misquoted as 10 to 1) - Norges Bank, BHP and Fortescue - How Australia can lead the world at COP31 - A just energy transition inclusive of First Nations Sandrine is Co-President of The Club of Rome, Author and Chair at Earth4All, and we had this discussion during her presentation at the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Business and Economics, facilitated by Rosemary Addis, whilst she was on tour thanks to the Centre for Policy Development, and supported by Diane Bowles and co on the day.  Tomorrow I head into the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) Climate Finance and Investment Summit, led by Duncan Paterson and titled 'Mission 1.5 degrees' - which is quite the banner headline to be aiming at considering what we know.    What did you learn in this brief chat, and how honestly can you answer the two questions posed?  Thank you for leaving a comment, giving this a like and resharing, it helps!

    Marco Lambertini and Philip Bateman | Halting and reversing the decline of nature

    ".. 2.6 trillion in harmful subsidies is spent from governments globally, plus five to six trillion of direct private investment - this is three times the amount of money that we are spending on armaments and weapons to fight each other in the world. We are spending three times more to fight nature! " - Marco Lambertini, Convener of the Nature Positive Initiative. Join Marco and I for our conversation from the recent Global Nature Positive Summit 2024, and thank you for liking and leaving a comment.

    Lea Patterson and Philip Bateman | Reporting is not a proxy for progress & the ABC of Impact

    Who would have thought that the accounting system developed at the beginning of the industrial revolution that sparked climate change, will be the same solution we use to fight climate change?  Join me to dive into Activity Based Costing with Lea Patterson, President of the Pilbara Group and Chair of the Consortium for Advanced Management - International (CAM-I), where we go into things such as; How do you manage a climate infrastructure transition in a financially sustainable and profitable way?  What about for King County, WA with 2.3 million people and $16.2BN USD in budget? How can you use activity-based costing as a powerful lever for change?  And how was Lea done so with Universities, the Royal Australian Navy, the US Navy and BP? How do you sell a steam engine to a tin mine in the 1700's? 500 years later, how do you sell a manufacturing robot? Would you believe it's the same. Thanks for joining me for another episode, and do jump onto LinkedIn and circulate the 4 parts of this interview with folks you think may be interested; Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 I'd love to hear what you enjoyed, and greatly appreciate you giving this a like and a share.

    Will Martindale and Philip Bateman | Responsible Investment: An insider's account

    Join Will Martindale from Canbury Insights and I for a deep dive into Responsible Investment, his latest book and questions that matter, including; How do we enable investors to spend their time doing things that have more meaning? How are people are trying to shift the normative interpretation of what we mean by responsible and sustainable, rather than argue in favour of concessionary investing, which brings up the question of 'who decides how much concession, on which issues' ? Where are there potential for real breakthroughs in responsible investing, and how does resourcing and politics fit into that? How do we as an industry challenge pay to play and address high level investor optics? How do we get serious about 'real world impact' and the philosophy of responsible investment, including; - the greatest good for the greatest number - the most fortunate helping the least fortunate - justice (not doing harm to others) - being a categorical imperative (it's the right thing to do) *** For the latest insights on leadership, impact investing, global challenges, business strategy and storytelling, make sure to join me on LinkedIn, and click here to get the Smarter Impact newsletter!
